Outstanding in My
Field
Ty has been named for baseball legend Ty Cobb, but the hero
of Jennings' wonderful new novel isn't living up to his namesake's
reputation when it comes to The Game. He loves baseball; he
just isn't great at it, despite all the efforts of his coach
and father, who himself once dreamed of playing in the majors.
To complicate matters, Ty's younger sister Daisy is a baseball
whiz (as well as the school genius). In this sharply witty,
deeply poignant all -American novel, Ty has to figure out
just who he's trying to please -- his father, his teammates,
or himself.
